Confu$ius is a visionary collaboration between internationally acclaimed artists Shay Kun and Tomer Ganihar — a fusion of two distinct yet deeply connected worlds.

The name itself — blending Confucius with the “$” sign — captures their bold dialogue between East and West, spirituality and materialism, tradition and contemporary culture.

Their work spans painting, sculpture, and digital media, merging surrealism, philosophy, and cultural commentary into a visually striking and conceptually charged universe.

Shay Kun, New York–based painter, is celebrated for his hyperrealist reinterpretations of classical landscapes. His works have been exhibited across leading galleries and museums in New York, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and Chicago, and are held in important private and institutional collections worldwide.

Tomer Ganihar, a multidisciplinary artist working across photography, mixed media, and film, brings a spiritual luminosity to the collaboration. His work has been featured at the Israel Museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, The International Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and numerous international exhibitions. Tomer is mostly recognized for its exploration of light, rhythm, and transcendence.

Together, Kun and Ganihar create under the banner of Confu$ius — a brand that bridges fine art and conceptual design, past and future, intellect and emotion. This thought provoking work represents the convergence of two museum-level practices united by a shared pursuit of meaning, beauty, and cultural resonance
